We look at the division of 986482 by 31 
Our goal is to divide 986482 by 31.

On to step 1:
31 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 9 to get 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 31

Advancing to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 98 3 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 93 from 98 leaves us with 5.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 56 / 31

Moving on to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 56 1 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 31 from 56 to get 25.
Bring next digit (4) of the dividend behind the 25 and repeat the process: 254 / 31

On to step 4:
If we divide 254 by 31, we get 8 and a remainder of 6.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 318.0
If we take 248 away from 254, we end up with 6.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 6 and repeat the process: 68 / 31

Let's proceed to step 5:
31 can be fit into 68 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 3182.0
If we take 62 away from 68, we end up with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
If we divide 62 by 31, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 31822.0
Subtract 62 from 62 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
0 divided by 31 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 31822.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
31 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 31822.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 31822.0, with a leftover of 0.0.
